Final Project
Final_Final_Project.jpg
Creating my final project was very easy. I just had to add all my projects from the trimester onto a new photoshop canvas. The only problem I had was getting all my projects to fit on one canvas. It was small and would have been nicer if the canvas was bigger.
Scratch
Scratch Project
Using Scratch was very easy. It was difficult at first because I had no idea what Scratch actually was. Although it was fun, creative, and simple to use, I do not think I will ever use Scratch again in the future.

Car Hue and Saturation

SMART_CAR_CHANGED.jpg
Using Hue and Saturation was very easy. It did not take long to figure out how to use it. I do not think I will use this again because it is not practical to change pictures.

Getting Tricky with Wiki
Hello

Welcome to Samantha's Page
Using the Wiki Skills was very easy. There were only a few steps and they did not take very long. It was hard to figure out how to make the "hello" part of the page to work. Although it was easy, I do not think I will use this again because I will not use Wiki again.

Filter Project
filter_final_with_txt.jpg
Using filter on pictures was easy. It only took a few steps and I could make certian things in the picture stand out that I wanted. I chose to filter the background. I made the hands normal so that they stand out against the background. I chose this picture because two different people are holding hands and are understang towards each other.

Glogster

Using glogster was very easy. I have used it before so I could pick it back up very quickly. It was good for me to re-learn the skills because the site had changed since the last time I was on it. This is a simple way to make projects for other classes. I would use this again for my furure classes because it is so simple and easy to use.

Learning how to use the cropping tool was very easy. It was simple to use and it was explained to me very well. I have learned this before in the past but did not actually pick up on how to do it and I was not taught the skills very well. Although this was easy to use, I do not think I would use the tool again because I think it is pointless.
Empathy Cropping
me_and_empathy_hands_copy.jpg
Cropping was very easy to use. It was good for me to learn it again because I have forgotten to how to use many of the tools. It was very easy to use but I do not think I would use it again. I do not like the program because it does not always cooperate so I kept on getting frustrated.
Monk-e-Mail

I thought using money mail was a fun experience. It ws fun to make our own monkeys and make them say funny things. It was very easy to use and would be simple to teach others how to use this website. Although it was fun, I won't use this website again in the future because it is not a practical website. If I had to use an animated person for a project, I think I would use Voki instead.
Voki

Voki was a very fun and easy way to create look alike avatars or just make up people. It was very simple and easy to use and it was interesting helping the other students in our class learn how to use Voki just as we did. Although it was a fun project, I do not think I will use this program again in the future for other classes. I might use it sometime in the future when I need to but not on a weekly basis.
Paint

Learning how to use Paint was very fun and helpful. It was fun because we were able to draw what we wanted as long as it went along with our IB Learner Profile we chose earlier this trimester. I chose empathy so, for my picture, I drew a girl crying and her friend feeling sorry for her. It was hard to make clean edges with just using the paintbrush. Although this project was fun, I do not think I will use Paint in the future to do any projects.

Filter Project

This is a picture of our photo shop project. This was a fun project learning how to add layers onto other patterns. Although it was fun, I do not think I will use his tool again. It was difficult for me to figure out and it took longer than I had expected. I do not think this tool will be used again in my other classes.

Poll Daddy

Learning how to use Poll Daddy was helpful. It was very simple and easy to use, I can use it in other classes to see what others thought. It was very fun going through my classmates pages and seeing wht their questions were.
Word Editing
word_project_croping_final.gif
The Word Cropping project taught me skills like cropping, editing, and how to put frames around pictures. Knowing how to crop wil help me further in other classes because it can help me with other photo projects. It can make the project more interesting by adding frames around the picture.

Tagxedo

Using Tagxedo was difficult for me. I could not figure out how to insert words, change the shape of the words, and change the color of the picture. But when I eventually figured it out, it started making more sense. Although this taught me a lot, I do not think I will use this program again.

Avatar

avatar_new.gif

This is a picture of my avatar. It was a fun project being able to make animated versions of ourselves. It was fun because we also had the options to add tails, wings, or head pieces. The program was easy to use but was hard for me to take certian things off of my avatar that I did not want on her. This was a fun project but I do not think I will use this again.
